Wow! What a year this has been! If you missed the District Changeover Dinner last night in Hodges, you missed a great one! I want to thank all of our club presidents for 2010-2011. You have been an incredible group of people and you have accomplished incredible things! Take a little rest and then jump back into Rotary. Rotary needs your expertise. I want to thank my twelve AGs. You are an awesome group and I really appreciate all of your help and your expertise. Now for a word on our terrific Foundation Chair, Rich Waugh. No one works more tirelessly. Rich is a pro and folks all around the Rotary world recognize it.
Lastly I will never be able to thank Terry and Pam Weaver for their incredible sacrifices to this district. Unless you have been in the trenches it is hard to visualize what those two do for Rotary District 7750. Without them, basically nothing would happen. They keep the Rotary wheel turning.
On Wednesday, June 29, Tom and I head to Evanston for the first ever End of Year Celebration. This is a celebration of all 555 Rotary District Governors for 2010-2011. We will also be a part of the Installation of Kalyan Banerjee as the 2011-2012 RI President. June 29 also marks the Faulkner's 32nd Wedding Anniversary. What a great year to end our term as your Rotary District Governor and to celebrate the beginning of another year of marriage.
Thanks to all for your support this year. Best of luck to DG Gary Goforth. If I can be of any help to you in the future, please do not hesitate to call upon me. Keep chipping away at that Rotary stone!
